Anyone else surprised at the number of startups in this class? (114) How much individual attention can each startup get?

  YC has a sharded structure now. Arguably startups now get more attention than in some of the earlier batches.

    Can you explain this a little more? Are there different groups where each group has a mentor or shared resources?

      Prior to sharding all partners were responsible for keeping up with everyone in a batch. Now there are multiple groupings of partners which oversee a smaller subset. I'm not certain, but I'm sure partners are assigned based on their domain expertise. Though, I'm sure all partners are open to helping anyone in the batch if needed. Can anyone comment on this?
